Putin just warned the West "Attacks will happen at any moment", GET OUT NOW | Redacted News
"More than 1,000 pages of unpublished reports from DHS, the FBI, and regional fusion centers show that the U.S. law enforcement agencies are now circulating warnings about something they're calling anti-tech violent extremism."
A Wired investigation uncovered over 1,000 pages of government documents revealing a new surveillance category called 'anti-tech violent extremism' targeting Americans who oppose AI data centers in their communities. The term does not appear in any public DHS or FBI extremism guides, indicating it's a newly created category. Citizens attending local zoning hearings about data centers are being tracked and monitored.

About this episode

On this episode of Redacted, host Clayton Morris delivered urgent warnings about escalating global conflicts and domestic surveillance expansion, joined by former CIA analyst Larry Johnson and geopolitical expert Brandon Weikert. The show opened with breaking news that Russian Security Council Secretary Shoigu issued imminent strike warnings for Kiev, urging all Western diplomats to evacuate immediately — warnings U.S. senators on the ground are ignoring. Johnson revealed that Russia previously held back from fully attacking Kiev because they lacked the weapons and personnel to confront NATO, but now possess complete capabilities and are prepared for full-scale war. The episode's most explosive revelations came from Weikert, who disclosed through Israeli sources that the U.S. diverted more air defense systems to protect Israel than the Israelis used themselves, with one IDF general expressing shock at American wastefulness. Weikert warned that U.S. munitions stockpiles are now critically depleted, requiring 5+ years and Chinese rare earth minerals to replace — resources China is withholding. He predicted economic catastrophe by July 4th as fuel reserves run dry, forecasting a depression combining the worst of 2008 and 2020. The show's second half examined the domestic AI surveillance state, with Above Phone CEO Hakim Anwar presenting explosive new research showing AI data centers will consume 40% of America's power grid by 2027. Most disturbingly, Morris revealed a Wired investigation uncovering that DHS and FBI are now tracking citizens who oppose data centers under a new category called 'anti-tech violent extremism.' Anwar warned that China's AI data centers sit 80% idle, suggesting the U.S. is racing toward a massive bubble while sacrificing power and water resources that will devastate American families.
